ITSS initiative for an IEEE forum on integrated and sustainable transportation systems [President's Message]

This president's message has been written by your Society's current president, William Scherer, and a past president (2005), Charles Herget. We would like to tell you about a project we have planned with four other societies in IEEE. We are currently planning an international event we are calling the IEEE Forum on Integrated and Sustainable Transportation Systems that will be held in Vienna, Austria, in 2011. Five societies from IEEE are participating in the organization: Aerospace and Electronics Systems (AES), Oceanic Engineering Society (OES), Intelligent Transportation Systems Society (ITSS), Professional Communications Society (PCS), and Vehicular Technology Society (VTS).
